Name clash with other popular library

Open Maxim-Filimonov opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Hey, I've noticed that this library is using - mdgriffith/style-elements which have been rewritten and renamed to mdgriffith/elm-ui. Which is where we get a recursive function as this library is also called elm-ui :trollface: Seems to be quite a naming clash as both libraries are relatively popular.

Is there any resolution to this..? :)

This library was basically killed by Elm 0.19, so the name clash is just a formality. This elm-ui is not even present on the package repository anymore. Are you suggesting to delete the github repo entirely? At this point it's merely a reminder to the instability of the language :)

Adding a note on the website https://elm-ui.netlify.app/ would help. I think that is the major source of confusion, more than the git repository.

Thanks for having this issue open, I was pretty confused there for a bit. I agree with lucamug.

agree adding a note on the website would be useful. and/or marking this repo as archived. Or renaming, since the other elm-ui is maintained.
